Well seeing as you are in the Central Time Zone, you pretty much get to cheat and watch the East Coast countdown and still make it to bed before midnight.

Will be at a friends house in the evening. Need to be in bed before midnight as I am at work tomorrow 6am-6pm.

It will be no different than any other Friday night. And FYI, it's not because I'm reformed. It's because it has never been any type of deal, much less a big deal, in my life for as long as I can remember.

Just moving on to the next day. New Year's Eve holds zero importance or interest in this house. It's just another day.

it's 10:52 in Istanbull, enjoying a bourbon

When I was younger I loved the parties (mainly for the abundance of good food.) Now, with wife and children we typically fall asleep before that hour. This year we have family staying with us, so we have lots of finger foods (as we normally do with company). But, I'm not sure if we'll watch the ball drop on TV or if we'll all be asleep before midnight. With four of the six kids under 5 I imagine many of us will doze off by 10:00.

I didn't RSVP for the church's New Year party at a member's business but I'll probably go anyway. After I have a good smoke from my new pipe, that is. 
I as well. I will join you in your prayer, Curt.
Will be sitting in my recliner reading Francis Schaeffer's 'How than Shall We Live'.

I'll be changing a few wall calendars and writing out checks so I don't get the date wrong next week.

One of the best books of all time In my humble opinion, I think I will join you.
It's nearly 10 pm in Scotland and I wouldn't mind hitting the hay quite soon, but i know I'll only be woken by one of the kids ringing around midnight to say happy New Year 
....and of course, I do want them to do that, so I'm going to fill in the time by praying for them all. it always seems a very good time for doing that

well I plan on staying up all night long! yes sir I will be awake until 8 in the morning! No seriously I will. I have to work tonight from midnight until 8:00am. Unfortunately this is one of our busiest nights of the year with drunks galore out and about. After everything calms down, which I anticipate will be about 3:00am, I plan on spending the next couple of hours reading and checking the PB. Hope everyone has a safe night!

Stay safe, brother.
hope it's been a quiet night for you too, my dear brother
It's New year's morning here, but unless my arithmetic's way out, in Texas it will still be the dead of night and you still on night duty.
Praying that you and your dear wife (and all the PB,) have a happy and blessed 2011

what an amazing thing the www is. It must have been about ten minutes after you wrote that, I heard from one of my boys who was with some friends in Edinburgh. They had eaten, and prayed, and then gone out to let off sparklers on the Meadows. It's not in the Princes Street party area, but near enough to hear. I think it must have hotted up a bit by then. But meanwhile, here on the East coast of Fife, it was like the grave

Looks like a few Egyptian Muslims have joined the celebration.

It has always amazed and saddened me that Egypt has denied that any Al-Qaeda connections, networks, groups exist within their borders. Sadly, I think they believe their own press clippings. From what I hear their security measures are woefully lacking. Now at least 21 Copts have been murdered due to their incompetence.

Had a great New Year's Eve with my beautiful wife. We went to a nice dinner, a jazz concert with the Charleston Horns, then went to 'The Glory of Gabrielli' a brass & organ concert. Very nice. We are leaving today to start vacation. (A nice start to the new year I'd say. )

Indeed. Furthermore, the lack of condemnation for these acts from our own government let alone the Egyptians is deeply grievous. Massacre a pod of whales and receive more attention than events like these.
